Questions Concerning Death

From Nora Ephron’s last chapter “Considering the Alternative” in the book: I Feel Bad About My Neck: and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman.
Do you splurge or do you hoard?
Do you live everyday as if it’s your last, or do you save money on the chance you’ll live twenty more years?
Is life too short or is it going to be too long?
Do you work as hard as you can or do you slow down to smell the roses?
And where do carbohydrates fit into all of this? Are we really going to spend our last years avoiding bread, especially when now that bread in American is so unbelievably delicious?
And what about chocolate?
